NEWS

As expected, it was a quiet news week on the Kate front. The Cambridge's are enjoying their annual vacation in Mustique with the Middleton family. The young royal family were spotted arriving in St. Lucia en route from London. It's rumoured photos were taken at the airport, but it remains to be seen if/when these will surface. Last year, Hello magazine published exclusive photos of ﻿Kate and baby George at the airport﻿ so it wouldn't surprise me if they got the scoop again this year.

Carole and Michael Middleton were spotted jetting off to Mustique on Sunday morning.

A fellow repliKater who wants to be identified as "KC", purchased the DVF 'Patrice' wrap dress repliKate from eBay

"I am a size 10 US and ordered an XL in this dress. It's a little tight around the waist, but big in the bust, so I'm not sure I could have gone up a size. I like the dress, however, there is one issue with the construction of the top half of the dress. One side is a bit longer than the other, and it creates a folded section just above the waist (almost the entire length of my waist). I have to wear a cami under the dress due to the gape around the bust from the side view and the fact that the dress is a bit too large in that area. Otherwise, I get lots of compliments whenever I wear it! I've been styling it with blue tights and boots in order to wear it to work in the winter. I paid about $50 for the dress, however, for the quality, I think $20-30 would be a more fair price.

Due to the navy and white colors of the dress, I have had it dry cleaned to avoid having the navy bleed in the washer. It looks great after a couple of dry cleanings!"

Tiffany says; "It does have some major differences from the Tory Burch, like the neckline, zipper, and no shine, but the shape is spot on. (And for a fraction of the cost of the real deal, I will take it!) It is very comfortable and provides enough warmth for our California "winter". I like the zipper more the buttons personally...it's quicker to get on and off"

Tiffany used the size chart on the H&M website and wears it in a size US 4. She says "it fits nicely. I like that it leaves a little room if I wanted to wear a thicker top/light sweater underneath."

Dillard's has long been a favourite of mine when it comes to repliKate hunting. They have taken a further 30% off their sale stock. There are so many dresses, shoes and accessories on sale which I know the Duchess would approve of :) Shop the sale >
